He locates the documents and passes them on to the HR person who requested it.Later that day, you overhear a conversation between this member of staff and a colleague discussing sensitive information about that ex-employee.

It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
